Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Matthew Cothrew and his family took to the Rio Nosara via kayak and explored from the highlands all the way down to the river mouth.
Also they were among the first to sample our newest licensed product. Check out these pics of FishingNosara bottled water, courtesy of our shameless plug department:
The action at the Nosara River mouth has been excellent this month with many catches of Permit, Corvina and Snook.
Senior Javier Hernandez (aka Rey Robalo) has led the way with innovative new tackle mixed with old-school perseverance and patience. Check out these monster Snook caught by the master surf angler this month:
Fantastic catches by Javier, but he isn’t the only one working the River Mouth:
Local fisherman Coco with a 4kg. Snook
Local Legend Luis Pando with a nice Corvina and Snook
Also the Fuppernos are doing great work keeping the river clean and healthy. Check them out on Facebook for all the up-to-date catches and news from the Rio Nosara:
Another tranquil day on the Nosara River! Mike Young and his group took to the pleasant water for a gentle half day of floating and sightseeing. They saw lots of birds and reptiles, plus came upon a nice group of SUP riders also cruising the river.
Our Kayak Tours are very popular for both anglers and nature lovers alike, plus they are a cost-effective way to spend a lovely afternoon. Looks like Mikey and his folks found the perfect way to relax between offshore fishing days.

Senior Javier has been working over the river mouth this week and had some great catches to show for his effort. Most recently was this large Corvina that weighs every bit of 15 lbs. Ceviche, anyone?
Earlier in the week Javier knocked out an excellent Snook, approximately 29 inches and 12 lbs. Pictured here with son Dario, this Snook is typical of the beauties that make their home at the mouth of the Nosara River.
Pretty clear family resemblance, even down to the gold chain. Great work by the master of the river, Senior Javier Hernandez!
Excellent snook action today at the Nosara River Mouth. The early morning bite was plentiful as proved by our client Patrick who joined Senior Javier Hernandez for a morning fishing tour. Check out this respectable 10+lbs. Snook:
Also local hero Senior Gata hooked up this beauty of a Snook, estimated to weigh at least 25lbs.
Bob Hartin and his posse followed their fantastic day on the Wanderer with an equally thrilling day of kayaking on the Rio Nosara. A full floatilla of eight kayaks with ten total participants set off from the highlands and drifted about 3 miles to the mouth of the river.
At this junction our guides broke out the rods and started hunting for the crafty little mangrove snappers that live along the banks and the super snook that patrol the mouth. The group had some nibbles and some mysteries but no amazing fish this time.
All in all it was a great day of fresh air and beautiful nature on a fully loaded Kayak Safari Tour.
Amazing news from the Nosara River mouth!
Local man Luis Rodriguez landed this behemoth Snook around 6am at the in surf directly outside the River mouth. They took it to the grocery store scale before fileting this beast:
I love how our guys take ‘days off’ in Nosara…Cumi is the hardest-working member of the Nosara Paradise Rentals team, streched thin between driving to and from the airports, maintaining all of the Safari Carts, and managing all of the in-town transportation from Ostinal to Garza and all points in between.
How does this guy relax? Check it out:
Looks like Javier has some competition at the Nosara River.
Great job on these tasty Permits! Ceviche anyone?
It’s no secret around here that Javier is the man when it comes to land-based Snook fishing. On Friday our new friend Christoper Santore and his girlfriend went to the river mouth early in the morning looking for these tasty fighters.
They found a small 3lb. along the beach, then headed inland up the river bank. Before too long they had a meaty 12 pounder on the line and pulled it in all the way to the dinner table.
They also found this Sting Ray in shallow water which Javier seems unafraid of.
All in all it was another excellent Snook Hunt with El Jefe Javier Hernandez!
